Module 4 Music
单元小结
No music, no life! Music can help us relax, give life to those who are depressed and offer relief from a day's hard work. Most people like appreciating music or dancing to the music. Today we'll introduce a band and a pipa and guzheng soloist.
The band is named Twelve Girls Band, founded in June 2001. At first it wasn't famous, but all of a sudden it became popular in Japan. Now the band has become one of the most popular groups at home and abroad. The members of Twelve Girls Band come from such famous colleges and universities as China Academy of Music and Central Conservatory of Music. Drawing upon over 1,500 years of Chinese music, the band charms the world. They have been presented with awards many times. Their records have become its fans' collections. The band honours its music heritage and shows a genuine love for all styles of music.
The soloist is Liu Fang, an international music star. In addition to pipa, she also plays guzheng. She is good at playing folk songs. Meanwhile, she combines Chinese traditional music with western music. Liu Fang had a great gift for music as a child, therefore her mother sent her to play pipa. She has given concerts since 11. While playing pipa, the biggest challenge is to respect traditions and add her own style. The same is true of guzheng. Now, Liu Fang lives in Canada, where she often makes contacts with master musicians, sharing feelings and ideas with them. She's also voluntary to give some bands directions.Regarding her ambition she wants to compose music and introduce Chinese classical music to every corner of the world., 没有音乐就没有生命。
音乐可以帮助我们放松,给那些沮丧的人活力,还可以缓解一天的劳累。
大多数人喜欢欣赏音乐或伴着音乐跳舞。
今天我们要介绍一个乐队以及一位琵琶和古筝独奏者。
乐队是成立于2001年6月的“女子十二乐坊”。
起初它并不出名,但是突然在日本变得大受欢迎。
现在这个乐队已经成为国内外最受欢迎的乐队之一。
“女子十二乐坊”乐队的成员来自一些非常著名的大学,如中国音乐学院以及中央音乐学院等。
凭借中国1 500多年的音乐文化,这支乐队吸引了整个世界。
她们已多次被授予奖项。
她们的唱片也成为粉丝们的收藏品。
这支乐队尊崇自己的音乐遗产,并显示出对各种音乐风格的真心热爱。
独奏者是刘芳,一位国际音乐明星。
除了琵琶外,她也演奏古筝。
她擅长演奏中国民歌。
同时她将中国传统音乐与西方音乐相结合。
刘芳在很小时就有很好的音乐天赋,因此她的妈妈送她去学琵琶。
11岁起她就开始举办音乐会。
在弹奏琵琶时,最大的挑战是在尊重传统的同时还要融入她自己的风格。
弹古筝也是这样。
现在,刘芳住在加拿大,在那里她经常与
音乐大师来往,与他们一起分享感受与想法。
她也自愿为一些乐队提供指导。
关于她的志向,她想创作乐曲,把中国的古典音乐传播到世界的各个角落。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Ever since appearing on the music scene, Nicki Minaj has been called hiphop's version of pop star Lady Gaga. From her colorful clothes and wigs (假发) to her stage shows, it's not hard to see the similarities, but the 34yearold US singer says that she is different.
“She's made her own lane for herself and I respect that, but I have my own lane, too, and we never cross
paths — ever!” Min aj told Nightline.
Minaj has achieved fame quickly with her rap. On April 21
she appeared in Time's list of the 100 most influential people
alongside Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio and UK singer
Adele.
Minaj is known for her energetic rapping style. She uses metaphors (暗喻) and wordplay so well in her work that The New York Times described her as a great rapper with a gift for funny accents and unexpected turns of phrase.
Raised in New York City, the young Minaj wanted to become an actress. But her acting career failed to take off. Dealing with a lack of money, in addition to her parents' fighting, Minaj turned to music as a way to escape — she rapped on the streets and posted her songs on the Internet.
She was discovered by Wayne in 2009 and her real fame came from her first album Pink Friday. It topped the US Billboard charts soon after its release in late 2010.
Although Minaj has managed to pick up award after award, she is no stranger to controversy (争议) over her bold fashion choices and performances. But she has no plans to change. Clearly, confidence and strong will are the most important parts of her makeup.
Her strong personality has also seen her create her own musical style, whether everyone like s it or not. “Most artists in this business are so scared of thinking outside the box that they will remain in one little box for their whole careers,” she told MTV News, “but I feel that as women, we have got to dare to be different.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了说唱歌手妮琪·米娜的演唱风格以及成名的经历,从她的故事中,我们得到启示:只要有毅力和自信就能取得成功。
a.her musical style B.her strong personality
c.how she wrote her songs D.how she rose to fame
A.a,b,c B.a,c,d
C.b,c,d D.a,b,d
解析:选D 细节理解题。
文中没有提到妮琪·米娜如何创作歌曲,而a、b、d在文中都有体现,故D项正确。
2.What can we know about Nicki Minaj according to the passage?
A.She keeps a low profile so she doesn't cause much controversy.
B.Her talent for using metaphors and wordplay has made her a great rapper.
C.She has to change her singing style in order to be accepted.
D.She has encouraged other artists to stick to the styles they have chosen.
解析:选B 细节理解题。
根据第四段中的“She uses metaphors (暗喻) and wordplay so well in her work that The New York Times described her as a great rapper”可知B项表述正确。
3.What leads to success according to Nicki's story?
A.Difference from others.
B.A gift for singing.
C.Confidence and strong will.
D.Following influential people.
解析:选C 细节理解题。
由倒数第二段中的“confidence and strong will are the most important parts of her makeup”可知,妮琪·米娜的自信和坚强的意志力使得她走上了成功之路。
由此可知C项是最佳答案。
4.Which is the best title for this passage?
A.Nicki staying different
B.Nicki becoming popular
C.Nicki's similarities with Lady Gaga
D.Nicki's success in music
解析:选A 标题归纳题。
作者通篇描述了妮琪·米娜在穿戴、发型和表演方面独特的风格,虽然她的独特也引起了一些非议,但她并没有打算改变,而是继续坚持自己的风格。
所以A项最能体现文章的主旨。
加餐练(二) 主观题规范增分练
Ⅰ.语法填空
The UK and Ireland would take a lifetime to explore, so it isn't possible for us to suggest an itinerary (旅行日程)for you and there is no such thing as “mustsees” that apply __1__ everyone. Everyone has __2__ (they) own.
This is your trip and it is __3__ to you to put some effort into __4__ (research)
what is on offer over here. There are plenty of guide books or Internet sites available, which will give you __5__ (value) information. Booking a trip without knowing much about __6__ you are going is beyond my understanding.

6.where 7.halves 8.to visit 9.be discussed 10.paid

Hello Bill,

Yours sincerely,
Li Hua 参考范文:
Hello Bill,
Having received your letter asking about the most popular song in Chinese middle schools recently, I can't wait to tell you something about it.
The recent most popular song in schools is the folk song Chengdu which is composed and sung by Zhao Lei. The singer accompanies himself on the guitar. The song is set in the capital city of Sichuan Province, Chengdu, where people live a leisure and comfortable life. The melody of Chengdu is slow, while the lyrics describe many details of the city, arousing the same feelings of common people.
In a word, you will fall in love with the city after listening to the song. I'm sending you the original album, hoping you'll love it.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

(Text 1)
M: Hey, Joanne. What's up? Are you heading to the beach, too?
W: I'm trying to get there as fast as I can. I need to deposit some money at the bank and mail some letters at the post office. But first, I've really got to find a ladies' room!
(Text 2)
W: Have you looked in the mirror today?
M: Uh, not since I woke up this morning ... Why? Did I forget to do my hair or something?
W: Well, let's just say that green ties and pink shirts don't really mix ...
(Text 3)
M: I'm starving! What have you got to eat around here?
W: Um, not much. I really wasn't expecting anyone over, so ...
M: All you have in here is some salad and one of those health drinks that only girls drink ...
W: Look. I don't show up at your door without calling and criticize your food, do I?
(Text 4)
W: Do you have any idea what time it is now? Have you ever heard your phone?
M: I'm sorry. But my phone ran out of power. I got back here as fast as I could because I knew you'd be worried.
(Text 5)
W: Hi, James! It's me, Diane. Oh, I'm so glad I caught you. I was just talking to Drake, and ...
M: I'm sorry. But I think you dialed the wrong number. My name is Daniel.
(Text 6)
M: What's the matter with you? You look miserable.
W: It's us.
M: What do you mean “us”?
W: Well, we used to talk to each other before we were married. Remember?
M: What do you mean? We're talking now, aren't we?
W: Oh, yes, but we used to do so much together.
M: We still go to the cinema together, don't we?
W: Yes, but we used to go out for walks together. Remember?
M: Oh, I can remember.
W: And we used to do silly things, like running barefoot through the park.
M: Yes. I remember. I used to catch terrible colds.
W: But we never used to argue. You used to think I was wonderful. Once ... Where are you going?
M: Back to live with my parents. That's something else we used to do before we were married. Remember?
(Text 7)
M: Can you see how close we are on the map?
W: It looks like we're pretty close, but these smartphone maps are hard to read.
M: Yeah, I always prefer to look at a paper map. I think I still have some in
the pocket of the right door, if you wanna grab one ...
W: No, I'd probably be even worse at that. Uhoh, I think you were supposed to turn left back there.
M: You mean that you were supposed to tell me to turn left back there?
W: Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't have one of these kinds of phones, so I'm afraid I don't really know what I'm doing. Do you want to pull over and take a look?
M:No. It's okay. Just push that little button on the side of the phone to turn on the sound. That will allow us to hear the directions out loud.
(Text 8)
M: Hello, Student Job Center. Can I help you?
W: Yes, I am looking for a parttime job. Do you have anything available at the moment?

M: OK, do you have any skills? Typing, languages, that sort of thing?
W: Yes, I speak Chinese and I can also speak some Japanese.
M: Right, let's see what is available. There is a position for an Office Assistant at the language center.
W: That sounds interesting.
M: It's for three days a week and the duty is to deal with inquiries and answer the phone.
W: I am sure I can handle it without problem.
M:Great. I will inform the director of the language center and you can start next week.
(Text 9)
W: Brett, can I ask you a question about your dog?
M: Sure. What's up?
W: Well, I have to get my little Ferguson some medicine.
M: Oh, is everything all right?
W: Yes, of course. It's not like he's sick or anything. I give him medicine every month as part of his regular care, so he doesn't get any diseases from insects or other dogs.
M: Oh, right. I do that for Fargo, too.
W: Yeah. That was what I was going to ask you about. Where do you buy your dog's medicine? I asked my vet, and she told me the prices. I almost dropped dead right there!
M: Yeah. Unfortunately, most special pet stores sell them at fixed prices that are set by the companies that make them. You can usually find discounts of ten or fifteen percent for a lot of those stores, though.
W: Well, that's not a huge help for something that's two hundred dollars per year! Isn't there any other way?
M: Well, you can order some medicines from websites that are based in other countries where the prices are lower.

This is the Lakewood Public Address System. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The Western Hill Fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o'clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately.
Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o'clock today. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm, but get started as soon as possible.
第二部分阅读理解(满分40分,限时35分钟) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
This may be music to your ears.
Researchers P.Jason Rentfrow and Samuel Gosling gave 3,500 people a personality quiz. Then they asked them to name their favorite kind of mu sic. “We found that the musical styles people like are closely linked to their personalities,” Gosling said.
RAP/HIPHOP
Known for their quick speech, some rappers can say more than 700 syllables (音
节) a minute!
If you like rap/hiphop, you are energetic an d have a way with words. You_put_a_fresh_spin_on_things,_whether it's new moves on the dance floor or your hip style.
CLASSICAL
In the 18th century, classical musicians were like rock stars. Beethoven and Mozart, for example, played to packed concert halls.
If you like classical, you are open to new ideas and like debating with friends. Creative and imaginative, you can easily spend many hours scrapbooking, writing or painting.
COUNTRY
Country music comes from the folk songs of English, Scottish, and Irish settlers of the southeastern United States.
If you like country, you express your opinions well, which makes you the ideal class president or team captain. Traditional and loyal, you enjoy spending time with your family.
POP
Pop music is designed to appeal to almost everyone, and it does. Each year, the industry brings in about 30 billion dollars!
If you like pop, you are attractive to your friends. You can make big things happen, like planning for a huge party or inspiring your team to victory.
ROCK/ALTERNATIVE
In the 1950s, rock music created a brandnew culture. Teenagers, for the first time, had an identity separate from adults and children.
If you like rock/alternative, you are a risktaker who never accepts no for an answer. You rise to any challenge,like doing very well in a big exam or landing the lead in the school play.
If these personality profiles don't match you, that's OK. These are just for fun.

You may feel depressed or disappointed if you have a difficult time fitting in or if you lack the confidence to talk to others. If you want others to like you, you'll need to have a healthy understanding of how people think, what appeals to them and how you can gain their approval. There are four tips on how to be popular in high school. And if you are popular with your classmates, you can get many benefits from them.
You must be yourself in order to gain any real
popularity in high school. While imitation is the
sincerest form of flattery (奉承), copying another's style
and personality will have a negative effect on your
popularity. If you're not comfortable enough to be
yourself 100 percent of the time, others won't feel comfortable around you. If you establish your own style and personality and stay true to yourself, popularity will soon follow.
Make yourself approachable to appeal to others and be popular in high school. People love to be around others who are confident and ready to have a good time. Hold your head up high, keep your shoulders back, and smile as you walk with an air of confidence to instantly attract others and increase your popularity.
Be friendly and kind to everyone you meet. It's not enough to gain the approval of the other popular students in your school. In order to gain real popularity, you'll need to be kind and polite to everyone you meet. Make an effort to talk to your classmates regardless of their popularity or economic status and try to develop friendships with them. The more people you appeal to, the more popular you'll become.
Involve yourself in school activities that interest you. You can be popular in high school if you play an active role in your school's extracurricular activities (课外活动). The more you participate in group activities, the more popular you'll become.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this.

This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
